The New Cabinet

Apparently Hammond is known as a hawk, so it would seem that there will no brake on austerity, particularly as Hammond seems of the opinion that Bexit will cause a bigger downturn than first thought.

I think it was a canny move on the part of Mrs M. Left in the wilderness, a disappointed, even bitter Boris could have caused no end of trouble as loose cannons so often do, even risking him joining UKIP! How much better to give him an important job (overseen by experienced civil servants!) which not only keeps him busy and contented, but where you can keep a weather eye on him!!

Gove gone! I wonder how his wife will report his sacking in the Mail.

Just read the tweet. Excellent.

When I think of Boris in the Foreign Office, I can't help imagining Yes, Minister - poor Bernard!

She has put Boris where she can keep an eye on him, and I don't doubt his civil servants will manage his diary, write his speeches and so on.

Thank goodness no Gove, it would have been daggers drawn in cabinet meetings. Let's hope Nicky Morgan is similarly cast adrift. Now I've thought about it, it seems a clever move on May's part to use Brexiters in key posts, if they don't deliver their promised goods the leave voters will have no one to blame but them.

Yo ho

Gove - gone
Morgan - gone
Whittingdale - gone

Oh I agree Elegran, plus he has to give up his newspaper column worth over £250k a year, so that will hurt too.

Nicky Morgan and John Whittingdale gone too. Looks like Chris Grayling stays in post.

Seriously though, we all know Boris can toe the line and will not play the fool on the international stage.

Just got to the stage where I'm enjoying it more and more

The Brexiters are not going to have an easy ride from anyone. Still lets hope they can put the money where their mouth is.

Letwin gone

Not confident Boris will suddenly become stable. He has insulted Obama, and there was that poem he wrote mocking - forgotten who - was is PM or president of Turkey?

Hopefully the BBC can breath easier

And schools!!!

Although May like grammars I think.

BRILLIANT!!!!! Hunt gone.

Did you see Angela Eagle's reaction to the news of Boris's post !!!
Actually it feels rather like ' you wanted this, you deal with it!'..........doesn't it? and yes, keeping him on a rein.

Oh he's semi-gone, still out of health.

Hunt not sacked, being moved?

I do hope Wollestone gets health

Could've been worse. Could've asked Prince Phillip to do the job!

Liz Truss up next.

Looks like the sackings are over.
